Last update of the day!

Issue 17 of Lost: The Official Magazine will be on sale June 10. This issue features exclusive interviews with Jorge Garcia (Hurley) and Michael Emerson (Ben). You’ll notice our Claire is sitting on the top right corner – pictured left – with what I think is Christian. She’s sporting the rebelous black hair from a season three flashback.

We’lll hopefully have scans up as soon as it comes out.

If you haven’t already heard, Emilie will be back for the fifth season of Lost, but she will be on a “holding contract.” Fear not, for she’ll be returning season six.

In related news, I’ve uploaded 1,500+ caps of Lost to our gallery recently. The majority of which are from season 1, as well as the season 4 finale caps. Happy browsing!

Apologies for the slow updates as of late, I’ve been busy with my other sites, but I finally got a chance to add this weeks Lost caps and even a new still (!). I really wasn’t expecting to see Claire again so soon, but it was a welcome, and very confusing, surprise.

Screencaps from last night’s episode of Lost are now up in the gallery. It was a really fantastic episode, I just love watching Sawyer being all protective. I won’t say too much in case I spoil it for you, but its definitely a classic episode.

I’ve gathered up the latest Lost tidbits floating around. If I’ve missed something, feel free to let me know!

- Some new additional stills from episode 4×09 – The Shape Of Things To Come have been added to the gallery.

TVGuide.com interviewed Miss de Ravin about her upcoming movies and her characters faith on Lost. Click the link below to continue reading.

Good luck forecasting Emilie de Ravin’s next big-screen role. The ambitious Aussie beauty, who TV fans best know as Lost‘s Claire Littleton, this week is celebrating the Tribeca Film Festival premiere of Ball Don’t Lie, yet another edgy endeavor she can add to her resume alongside Brick and The Hills Have Eyes. TVGuide.com welcomed the chance to ask de Ravin about her latest “interesting” film role, her romantic comedy aspirations (if she has them) and, of course, the increasingly shaky outlook for Lost‘s Claire.

I’ve added some captures from Lost’s mid-season return.

I’ve added an addition 4 stills to gallery from upcoming Lost episodes. Thanks to Darkufo. Not long to go now!

It’s official: Sources confirm to me exclusively that Steve McPherson has signed off on Lost’s extraspecial 14th hour this season, which means Lost is getting a three-hour finale! The first hour airs May 15, the second and third hours will air May 29, beginning at 9 p.m. (ABC will still air the finales of Ugly Betty and Grey’s Anatomy on May 22, as expected.)

Word is there are so many big reveals the producers wanted to deliver this season that they felt anything less than a full three-hour finale would have cheated the fans. In fact, I’m hearing that the writers’ draft for the second half of the finale was 80 pages long, which led all parties involved to realize these stories had to be told now. Anything else would have felt like a rip-off for the fans. Source: E! Online

Edward Kitsis and Adam Horowitz, co-executive producers of ABC’s Lost, told SCI FI Wire that the current season’s final batch of new episodes will unspool a story arc based on a plan devised in anticipation of the writers’ strike.

“The last two weeks before the strike, we actually sat down and said, ‘Here is what we want to tell for the rest of the season,’” Kitsis said in an interview. “We all sat down, and the entire staff came up with a battle plan in place.”

When Lost returns in late April, it will wrap up the fourth season with five episodes, three fewer than planned before the strike took place. “We got to tell a little more story this season than we anticipated,” Kitsis said. “It’s really worked out well. We came back from the strike, and everyone is just really excited, and I have to say, creatively, every day has been a pleasure. Everything we’re doing right now is exciting, and every script that is going out, you’re jealous if you didn’t write it.”

As for the missing episodes? “I feel that the three missing episodes will be made up over the course of the next two seasons,” Horowitz said. “Seasons four, five and six are meant to encompass 48 episodes.”

Kitsis added: “I have a feeling it will mean more, like, two-hour shows as opposed to more episodes, but those are decisions above our pay grade.”

Season four has so far been marked with a continuation of the “flash-forward” storytelling technique introduced in the finale of season three. “This just seemed like the most interesting way to tell the rest of the story of the show,” Kitsis said. “When we realized that we were only going to do three more seasons, it enabled us to starting thinking a little more out of the box in how we want to tell the remaining story that was left. The flash-forwards are, I think, just a great way to keep the show energized and tell the story in an interesting way. It was a brilliant idea by [executive producer] Damon [Lindelof].”

Lost returns with new episodes on April 24 in its new Thursday timeslot at 10 p.m. ET/PT.
